Nice work creating today's pop sound! I could hear this playing on my #1 hits local FM radio station. I like it even better than many pop hits today. Keep up the good work!

Great playing! Dig the instrument interplay and offbeat chords and rhythms.

Enjoyed it! Catchy melody and good arturia synth work

2nd listen. Bach is my main music inspiration and guide. This is a very nice piano arrangement and the piano sound is great! I was hoping for the part B in the piece that goes into minor mode etc, but this is short and sweet and will work perfect for the appropriate occasion or event that needs a little Bach, but not too much. If you get the chance check out my When They Built Cathedrals inspired by Bach, which I'll be posting soon. Very nice!

Beautiful song and vocal. I like the minimal background, it made me reflect more on the lyric that just passed. I do agree that a minor build up then pull back at the end would also work very well in this piece. The piano tone, pads, mix etc all great!

Also listened to the full version. I like all the instruments doing their thing- bass, guitar, organ, keys, drums- song has a it all. And extended instruments only with solos as well, works great. Reggie vibe is nice.

Not sure what this is- dub, electronic, experimental? Not sure but someone is playing with some 'toys' and created a new thing no one has heard before! There are drones in the sky and now we have this unknown something. Still not sure what's going on... j/k Those complex toys make some great sounds

I didn't hear it last time but glad I am now! Has an oldie sound style, and not a modern wild style, which is very good. And vocal is your own style, not trying copy someone. Smooth and wonderful Christmasy (<---I made up a new word?)

Really great song and lyrics, but wow the vocals are studio pro quality. Nice late 80's vibe I think that sounds refreshing today.

Very beautiful voice! This song is one of the harder Christmas songs too!

My new fav of yours. The skill on the saxes is masterful, the quality of the tone from the mic is fantastic. But I like the composition just as much. I see you post a new work about every month, but sometimes in two months. Don't go more than a month! I've subscribed to your yt but I also want a text or email when you post! Not sure yt does that.

TV theme worthy! And as usually slick keys. Always enjoy your creative chord progressions. !

Thanks for the comments.

It's there, my mistake. Great work!

This is a nice track from 2008 by Dan Cumpian. I added the piano part, using old Sonar from 2008. It hit #2 on the Acid Planet chart in 2008 (remember Acid Planet?). This piece will not have updates except maybe the piano later. My cakewalk piano .cwp file from 2008 will not open in Sonar or CBL now. I hate not having the midi but I might be able to open it on my old WinXP/Sonar PC, which is in the closet . But, I've been happy with the piano since 2008 (but I often like to update as well). Anyway, enjoy! Listen to more Dan Cumpian songs at https://www.soundclick.com/dancumpian

What a great tune and production in what is I think southern blues pop style, much like Tedeschi Trucks etc. Pro quality like from a million $ studio. B3 though in the background adds the icing on the cake!

Cool synth pop in Vangelis kinda style. I have GeForce synth but can't make it sound as great as this. And using only I, IV, V never sounded so happy and fun as well.

wow I love this kind of vibe! Dig everything going on, sax and guitar solos, but I think I like the brass chops the most. What software for brass chops? Sounds real!

The coolest indie song and video I've seen in a long time. Man when the vocal went up an octave I was hooked all the way to the end. Great piano and guitar too. Basically the piano is driving the piece, and I like that. Is the video private? It doesn't show up in your youtube channel.

I like the dreamy smooth vibe and the unexpected chord changes. And guitar tones. Nice!

Dig this retro alt rock track! I like the very wide stereo field and instrument placement. Perfect mix to my ears. Thanks for comments

super nice smooth jazz groove

Yep like the others said- beautiful guitar, cello and vocal. fyi your other songs play right but the song title doesn't change.

easy listen country ballad- great voice and production!
